The project concept focuses on the development of an innovative technical solution for a tilt mechanism in Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) with Vertical Takeoff and Landing (VTOL) capabilities, specifically for fixed-wing VTOL UAVs. Fixed-wing UAVs are widely used in unmanned aviation due to their superior energy efficiency and longer range compared to multirotor UAVs, as lift is generated by fixed surfaces during forward flight. This type of UAV is particularly suited for missions requiring long-distance operations, such as inspections and monitoring of large land areas or parcel deliveries. However, the primary drawback of these aircraft is their limited ability to take off and land in confined spaces, which significantly reduces operational flexibility, especially in urban environments. Combining fixed-wing designs with VTOL capabilities addresses this limitation, enabling the aircraft to take off and land vertically while leveraging the aerodynamic advantages of fixed wings during horizontal flight. This hybrid approach, however, introduces a new challenge. Fixed wings generate significant aerodynamic drag during vertical flight phases (e.g., takeoff and landing), increasing energy demands and reducing overall system efficiency. Additionally, fixed wings increase the aircraft's overall dimensions, which can further complicate operations. The proposed solution is the implementation of a folding wing mechanism that allows the wings to retract during vertical flight phases and extend during horizontal flight. This design offers significant advantages, including reduced aerodynamic drag, optimized flight performance, increased UAV operational flexibility, and minimized dimensions during takeoff and landing. The mechanism must be lightweight, compact, sufficiently durable, and must not impose excessive load on the UAV's energy system to meet the design requirements for UAVs with a maximum takeoff weight (MTOW) of up to 25 kg. The project aims to develop and test such

Flight illusions are defined as a conflict between reality and brain interpretation. The presented project is focused on studying the effect of vestibular illusions (Coriolis illusion and somatogravic illusion) on pilots. Currently, this problem is studied mainly in military pilots and is hardly addressed in the field of civil aviation. Due to this fact, the aim of the project is to analyze the effect of vestibular illusions on civil pilots. Two groups of pilots will be selected depending on the level of expertise to undertake the measurements. The experiment will be based on the collection of physiological data, such as cardiac activity or centre of pressure via stabilometric examination and flight data acquired from the measurements on the Gyro IPT II simulator. Physiological data will be measured before, during and after the simulated flight in order to analyze the changes of these data depending on the reaction of the pilot on the illusion. To compare the flight data, every subject will take two flight profiles - one with illusions and one without the illusions. Physiological and flight data will be later compared and statistically evaluated. The aim of the project is to identify if the level of expertise based on total flight hours affects the reaction of the pilot experiencing flight illusions. The purpose of the study is also to find out the resilience of the pilots in or shortly after the IFR training to specific flight illusions and evaluate the optimality of the standard training which is in the case of flight illusions mostly based only on theoretical training. The whole concept will be evidence based which will provide detailed information about the reaction of the pilot depending on the flight illusion experience. Such a study could contribute to the increase of safety in aviation and to the effective utilization of sources within the flight training.

The primary goal of the project is to develop evidence-based methodologies and procedures that would allow the incorporation of vestibular illusion simulators into pilots' initial training, in the way which would allow acceptance of flight hours of pilots’ training along with the benefit of practical spatial disorientation training. This concept focuses on the training period, where pilots learn to fly with instruments. The main output will be certified methodology enabling the implementation of such simulators into ab-initio pilot training. The objectives of the project will be achieved through research activities that should demonstrate the importance of implementing vestibular illusion training into pilot simulator training, which should contribute to increasing safety in air transport.

The presented project concept is focused on the design of a device enabling the collection and provision of data during flight, i.e. an autonomous flight recorder enabling wireless data transmission. Taking into account the current promise of the European Aviation Safety Agency to introduce competency-based training, the use of flight data and their evaluation to increase training effectiveness is expected. Currently, such data can only be obtained from the Electronic Flight Information System (EFIS). However, there are several limitations to this system, notably that not all aircraft are equipped with this system. Other limitations include insufficient sampling rate of recorded data and uncomfortable data transfer to a target device equipped with software for flight data analysis. Thus, it is evident that such device that would be available provides quality data and allows easy and preferably wireless data transfer to the terminal device is absent on the market. For these reasons, the effort will be to create a device that will meet these requirements. Data will probably be collected from multiple sources. The accelerometer and gyroscope will be used as key-stones in the device. Another option that will be subject to evaluation is to retrieve data from an aircraft transponder. Acquired data will be processed in real time and further provided by wireless technology for further use - mainly for applications in mobile phones or tablets. The data obtained from the designed device will be further compared with data from EFIS (currently Garmin G1000 version).

A broad portfolio of available and affordable unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV), their diversity of construction, the level of autonomy and integration of the auto-pilot systems has forced the European Union to modify present drone categorization legislation. New regulation is besides the weight of the UAV now considering also other performance characteristics such as maximum velocity in horizontal flight or maximum height above the launch point. Based on these four specifications is an UAV (drone) assorted into one of the 4 categories. The methodology of testing as well as the testing equipment will greatly influence the accuracy of the proper classification of the product and will affect the pricing. The above will be applicable particularly for the drones of C0 and C1 category with maximum take of weight of 250 g for C0, ev. 900 g for C1. The goal of this project is to propose the affordable methodology of the exact and dynamic testing of the above-mentioned characteristics used for the drone's categorization, in particular the maximum flight height and maximum horizontal speed. The primary focus will be on the Quadro-copters whilst the whole presented project has the ambition to define further flight characteristics that might influence the safety of utilization of unmanned aerial vehicles and their categorization within the valid EU legislation. The outcome of the project will be the creation of the comprehensive methodology of the Quadro-copter testing together with the proposal of the software solution and methodology of the drone categorization in accordance to the selected flight characteristics.

The use of augmented reality in aviation is a result of a constant effort of increasing aviation safety. The idea of augmented reality is commonly used in form of a Head-Up Display or is in testing as a Head-Worn Display (HWD) technology. HWD is a display unit attached directly to the user which implies that its most commonly in form of a helmet or glasses, specifically smart glasses. The projection of augmented reality into a visual field of a user in aviation department is undoubtedly a step forward, but the limitation of these imaging systems is the absence of an analysis of ergonomics of the display of selected data in the field of view. Presented project is focused on removing the above mentioned limitations and designing a concept layout of flight and navigation data from the primary flight display, in terms of both graphical and spatial, respecting the perceptual possibilities of the visible field of the user. The aim is to develop augmented reality software design and to verify HWD application. The software will be implemented in open-source smart glasses, and the way the flight and navigation data will be displayed will be designed with a view to maximize the usability of the presented data.

The presented project deals with real-time assessment of psychophysiological status of pilots. This could help to quickly identification of the workload impact on pilot during the flight. Due to the fact, that pilots are influenced by various stimuli (ambient, G-Forces, mental state etc.) during flight that can negatively affect the safety of the flight. There are already many scientific studies that deal with the psychophysiological assessment of pilots, but the measured physiological parameters are evaluated mostly after the measurement of the entire flight section. There are also studies in which the signal is evaluated in real time, but outside of the aviation field. In these studies, the most frequently used parameter for evaluating of psychophysiological status of respective subjects is heart rate or heart rate variability respectively, due to its distinctive ability to portray the effect of stimuli on the mental and physical state of the subject. Based on the above mentioned, the essence of the project is to assess the suitability and applicability of existing real-time biological signal processing methods. The aim of the project is, among other things, to use existing knowledge on which base the software solution to process measured physiological parameters (primarily heart rate) in real time will be designed. The measurement will be carried out on an air simulator at the Department of Air Transport of the Czech Technical University in Prague.

The proposed project concept focuses on studying the effect of fatigue on pilots' performance. The current state of fatigue tracking in aviation is based in particular on the collection of subjective data right after finishing the flight, i.e. in particular through questionnaire surveys. There are experimental attempts to quantify fatigue through physiological measurements, i.e. monitoring the psychophysiological condition of pilot. However, regarding these attempts, everything is still in the experimental point of view and the measurements are focused only on shorter experiments. For this reason, the present project introduces the concept of 24-hour measurements to create a variable fatigue level with respect to the subject's alertness and day time. During the experiment, there are simulated flights in which biosignals are measured with a primary focus on the brain and heart activity of the subject, and flight data are collected. In the time span between particular flights, battery performance and psychological tests are performed. The project therefore has the ambition to unify the standard methods used and to extend it to those experimentally used, either in the level of data collection or their evaluation, thus creating a complex experiment to study the influence of fatigue on pilots' performance. Such a study could contribute to efforts to objectify and determine the critical level of fatigue. This study could serve as a foundation for efforts to improve air transport safety.

The present project deals with the bases of performance evaluation and psychophysiological stress in pilots. The idea is in selection of appropriate physiological parameters and methods of their evaluation to identify the psychophysiological state of the pilot during the execution of flight operations based on existing knowledge and on usage of biotelemetry. This could lead to identification of stress, fatigue or power states based on non-invasive modular biotemetric systems. The review of current state shows that the evaluation of performance and psychophysiological workload of pilot sis based on monitoring and evaluation of psychophysiological functions. There are plenty of methods how to evaluate such data which are mostly based on linear methods (evaluation in time and frequency domain). Specificity and sensitivity of the methods with the purpose of identification and clasification of psychophysilogical state, or pilots performance, is still unknown. Therefore, the proposed project has the ambition to supplement these common methods with a nonlinear methods, such as recurrence quantification analysis and fractal analysis. The used signals will be primarily myopotentials, electrocardiogram, respiratory rate, body temperature, actigram and electroencephalogram. The main objective of the project is to propose a method of dynamic evaluation of data that can be obtained via wearable biotelemetry systems, and which will allow complex identification of psychophysiological state and pilot performance. Measurements will be performed on flight simulators placed at Department of Air Transport Faculty of Transportation Sciences CTU.

Quantitative methods for evaluation of kinematic motion data of body segments are an essential tool in the study of biomechanics of the musculoskeletal system, its structure and behavior. Many methods have been proposed for evaluation of kinematic parameters, including original methods proposed at FBME CTU in cooperation with the 1st FoM, 2nd FoM and FoM in Hradec Kralove. These methods are currently being tested and introduced into clinical practice. Primarily, however, these methods are used to assess postural stability while standing and walking, but are not modified and sufficiently tested for the evaluation of the combined and acyclic movements of body segments. The project is focused on the development and optimization of methods for the quantitative assessment of kinematic data combined and acyclic movements of body segments, in accordance with the requirements of the university hospitals and Faculty of Science. We suppose the use of MoCap systems for measuring kinematic parameters of movement of body segments, in accordance with current requirements of practice and research of nervous system. Methods of quantitative evaluation of kinematic parameters will be based on evaluation of data in time domain, frequency domain and diagrams of interdependences of measured quantities of the combined and acyclic movements of body segments of patients, healthy subjects and animals. The anticipated outcome of the work of master students and PhD students are optimized, developed and tested methods of quantitative evaluation of kinematic data of the combined and acyclic movements of body segments. Scientific results obtained during the testing of the methods will be presented in international journals, in cooperation with associated research groups involved in the measurement and evaluation of the parameters of movement.

Methods for evaluation of kinematic parameters of movement of body segments are essential tools in the field of biomechanics of movement. Many methods have been proposed, including original methods proposed at FBME CTU with 1st and 2nd FM CU. These methods are currently being tested with regard to their use in practice. However, these methods are used only to evaluate the movement of the lower limbs and trunk, but the methods are not sufficiently adapted and tested for evaluation of upper body movements. This project is aimed at developing and testing methods for evaluation of kinematic parameters of movements of the upper body segments, especially the upper limbs and head. For measurement of kinematic parameters of body segments, camera systems for measuring the kinematic parameters of the body movement will be used in accordance with the requirements of neurological practice and basic research of nervous system. Methods for evaluation of kinematic parameters will be based on recurrent analysis, data analysis in time and frequency domain and cyclograms of the parameters measured during standing and moving patients, healthy subjects and animals. The expected results of the work of master students and doctoral students are developed and tested evaluation methods of the kinematic parameters of the head and upper / front limbs.

Estimated project aims to optimize the methods and tools for evaluating the rehabilitation process in patients with locomotor disorders with main respect to monitoring the change in position of the head, shoulders and torso area. Nowadays there are numerous methods used for evaluating and analyzing the movement and standing. However, most of these methods are not yet well established in clinical practice. The aim of this project would be to find and optimize those methods that provide sufficient data about patients classified in the rehabilitation process, whether in a positive or negative progression of their condition due to the particular medical history. Assumption is that the tracking of the head, shoulders and torso will be adequate for the tracking and identification of locomotor disorders compared to the current used methodologies. The project includes a comparison of two systems for monitoring human locomotion and design of software for the rehabilitation applications. Measurements will be performed in joint department of FBMI and 1st Faculty of Medicine, University Hospital Motol and private rehabilitation clinic Soreha, Ltd. in Moldava nad Bodvou.
